You're on a GLP-1 medication. Now get the support that makes the results sustainable.
Medications like Ozempic and Wegovy change your appetite — not your habits. Our Accredited Practising Dietitians help you build the nutrition foundation that turns short-term results into lasting health.
GLP medications are a tool, not a solution.
GLP medications give you a window of opportunity. What you do with that window — the habits you build, the nutrition you establish, the relationship with food you develop — determines whether that window becomes a permanent change.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are clinically proven to reduce appetite and support weight loss — but they don’t teach your body how to eat well. Without professional dietary support, most people on GLPs run into the same avoidable problems.
Support through every stage of your GLP journey.
GLP medications change over time — dosage increases, side effects shift, weight plateaus, and eventually you’ll need a plan for what comes next. Our dietitians are with you at every stage.
Laying the nutritional foundation
Weeks 1–4 · Starting out
The first month is about getting your diet working with the medication. We assess your current eating patterns, identify nutritional gaps, and build a practical meal framework that accounts for reduced appetite without compromising your nutritional needs.
Managing side effects and building habits
Months 1–3 · Dose titration
As your dose increases, side effects often peak. We adjust your dietary approach in real time — managing nausea, constipation, and fatigue through food choices and meal structure. This is also when we begin building sustainable eating habits that will outlast the medication.
Protecting muscle while losing fat
Months 3–6 · Active weight loss
This is the critical phase. Weight is coming off — but we need to ensure it’s the right kind of weight. We work alongside your exercise program (particularly resistance training) to ensure your protein intake and dietary composition supports fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass.
Life after GLPs — building the exit plan
Transition · After medication
Whether you’re tapering, pausing, or stopping your medication, this is the stage most people underestimate. We build a comprehensive transition plan that prepares your appetite regulation, food choices, and lifestyle to maintain your results independently.
What are GLP-1 receptor agonists?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that mimic a gut hormone your body naturally releases after eating. They slow digestion, stimulate insulin release, and reduce appetite signals in the brain — including the constant preoccupation with food. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, they’re now widely prescribed for weight management.
- Weight loss comes from eating less, not burning more. What you eat — especially protein — determines whether you lose fat, muscle, or both.
- Side effects are common but manageable. Nausea, constipation, and fatigue can be significantly reduced with the right dietary adjustments.
- Results don’t last without lifestyle change. Most people regain weight within 12 months of stopping the medication if eating habits haven’t changed.
What goes wrong without support — and how we fix it.
Not eating enough protein
Appetite suppression leads many people to drastically under-eat — but protein intake drops disproportionately. Without adequate protein, the body breaks down muscle tissue for energy, slowing metabolism and weakening long-term results.
How we help:
We calculate your individual protein targets and show you how to meet them within your reduced appetite using high-density protein sources and strategic meal timing.
Relying on ultra-processed foods
When appetite is suppressed and cooking feels like too much effort, people often default to processed, convenient foods. These are calorically dense, nutritionally poor, and don’t build the food literacy needed for life after medication.
Ignoring gut health symptoms
Constipation, bloating, nausea, and reflux are among the most reported GLP side effects. Many people tolerate these as inevitable when they’re largely manageable with the right dietary adjustments and fibre strategy.
No plan when the prescription ends
Clinical studies consistently show that weight regain following GLP medication cessation is substantial and rapid for people without structured lifestyle support. Many people are blindsided by how quickly appetite returns to baseline.
Micronutrient deficiencies
Iron, B12, calcium, vitamin D, zinc, and folate deficiencies are common in people on GLP medications, particularly when food variety and volume decrease significantly. These can go undetected for months and cause significant fatigue and health decline.
Losing touch with hunger and fullness cues
GLP medications override natural hunger signals. While this is the point, it also means many people stop learning to read their body’s cues — which are needed as the medication is reduced or ceased. Long-term, this creates difficulty self-regulating intake.
